A book by Stefan Korbonski, depicting Polish-Jewish relations during World War II. The author, who was a member of the Polish resistance movement, describes the conditions of the German occupation, the actions of the Polish Underground State on behalf of the Jews, and the false accusations that Poles collaborated with the Nazis. Korbonski also highlights the role of Jews in communist structures after the war and polemicizes with Western narratives about the Holocaust. The book attempts to show the complicated relationship between the two nations in the context of wartime reality.
